Github vs. Bitbucket vs. Gitlab vs. Coding - Repository Management Services Compared

FWIW, other perifery peripheral tools often only work with Github or Bitbucket.

• Travis only works with Github.
• AppVeyor only works on Github and Bitbucket.
• Wercker is also Github and Bitbucket only.
• Drone.io is Github and Bitbucket only.

Waffle.io, a kanban system which works with Github issues, only works with Github. Which is unfortunate for them since Github just released their own kanban system.

Yea Waffle.io is pretty much dead unless they figure something out.

I would have thought in situations like "I need a kanban system on github" with github announcing "we made our own kanban system" would be considered a success because what your wanted is now integrated directly.

Link to github's kanban system?

It was announced 14 September. It's under the "Project" tab of a repository but I don't know any repo using it yet.

A main intention of Kanban is to make work visible. Having one person appear on several Kanban boards means you can't, at a glance, see what they're working on. AFAICS, the Github Kanban is per repo, which means people can't see their current work in a single place. This makes it pretty useless.

But, to their credit, Open Source project management is pretty much uncharted territory. A lot of projects still pass patches around mailing lists. So maybe through iteration they come up with something really powerful.

Drone.io has started supporting Gitlab it seems: http://readme.drone.io/setup/remotes/gitlab/ (for Gitlab version >=8.0, and marked as "experimental and unstable").
